Engineering And Management
Program
(CEM)
 Introduction:
• Construction is one of the largest and most
important industries in the world.
• Construction sector represents over 11% of the
total Egyptian workforce.
• Its share in the total National Gross Income
approaches 8%.
• Construction engineering and management is
obviously critical to the development of civil
infrastructure.
• The program will train the students in
construction management ; a multidisciplinary
field that integrates engineering, technology and
management of people and physical resources.
 Mission:
• to cope with the new advances in the
field of construction Engineering
• to provide a well-integrated program
that gives the student the opportunity
to develop the proficiencies necessary
for a successful professional career in
construction industry.
 Educational Objectives:
To Provide the graduates with:
• The ability to review the contract strategies,
appropriate contract forms, and payment
methods.
• Appropriate technical proficiency in
producing tender and contract documents.
• Appropriate technical proficiency in
supervising constructions projects and
monitoring their progress.
• Excelling graduates capabilities in advising
